" Flushing, 2d mo. 183i. Respected friends :-I now hand 

 ^""ToSf "?'■■','■. ''""*-'™'"""'""' ' managed my Lucerne. 



IHm. 1 tins spring sowed 20 lbs. of seed on my wheal 

 about the l.me cinver is uiunlly sown, and harrowed it bolli 

 ways w,lh a sliarp heavy iron loolh harrow, li came up well, 

 and p™lnf«l three good crops of hay the following year 



IbJi. Harrowed the lot three limes over, and, ii'i order to 

 see whether n proved injurious, 1 had pan of ii done si.x times 



effect, thn .1 kdled nearly all the weeds and natural grass, and 

 was very beneficial to the Lucerne. 



"1833. Had it well harrowed again this spring, and had 

 three good crops of hay. 1 weighed part o( the first crop afier 

 It was well cured, and found it produced nearly two and a hall 

 tons per acre. 



"The harrow ought to be made in two parts, and hung too-eth- 

 er w.lh hooks . nd eyes, it being much easier to clear them ?rom 

 grass than when made in the usual way, and, in my opinion are 

 much belter lor all purposes ; it ought to be so constructed as 

 (or the teeth not lo lollow each other, lie careful to pick up the 

 stones after every harrowing, and it would be well to harrow it 

 after every mowing. Light, dry land is best for the grass 

 Unless the land is very level, 1 think it would be best to place 

 It ,n ridges twenty feet wide. If sown in ridges, it ,nust be al- 

 ways harrowed the long way. The clover o'^^ighl lo be .aised 

 e.ghl or ten inches above the harrow, in order that it may run 

 level; otherwise .1 will injure the plants. 1 had mine made 

 w,lh notches, to regulate the height. 1 am convinced that ihe 

 best way to prepare land for Lucerne is lo plough in vlenli, of 

 manure m the spring, and plant it with corn, having it well 

 ploughed and hoed, so as to be kept perfecdy clean In the 

 tall alter tak,ng of! the corn, sow wi eat, manured with ashes " 



J he seed now offered is what is called liicrne cln Provenre 

 which .simply means that it is the Pmveno: seed, froni Prov- 

 ence, the linest Lucerne country in France. 



In order to give this valuable Clover the widest circulation 

 we have reduced the pnce to 25 cents per lb. _ was formeru' 

 ol.^ cents.
